If you have kids, you know they are a constant drain on your energy and they need endless entertainment...I mean, they are the light of your life, who can do no wrong.
However, if you're searching for something for them to do in the early summer because there's only so much a kid can play with a water table, picking strawberries isn't just fun and adorable, it's also useful and tasty.
Gro-Moore is the spot. They make it simple, and get out of your way.
Follow the hay bales labeled "U-Pick" to the parking area. Hop out, grab a couple containers if you didn't bring your own, pick strawberries from their abundant patches, pay, and be on your way.
There are folks there picking giant baskets with $40 worth of strawberries, people like us grabbing a pint or two with the kids, and everything in between. It was already starting to get crowded around 10 am, so get there early to beat the heat and the crowds.
The strawberries are obviously as fresh as can be, and amazingly tasty. Even better, the Gro-Moore folks are all sweethearts. It's a family biz, and everyone's got smiles for you and your kids.
They don't even weigh your kids before and after, which would probably bring in a good amount of cash because I couldn't believe how many strawberries some of these children stuffed in their face. read more
